Thread: Not fish - Good though

Well done sir. I'll bet it's been 20 years or more since I've had some good apple butter.
Congrats on the win and thanks for sharing.

Looks fantastic....congrats on the win

When I was a young man (many years ago) I had apple butter and thought it was delicious.
My wife says it is just cooked down applesauce and I say no it's better than that!

Well, you are correct, your wife is wrong, knows little about apple butter. Or maybe that's the way it is made in Indiana? Or do folks make it in Indiana?
We're hillbillies from the Ozarks. We make a 30 gallon copper kettle full, works out to about 210 pints when done. Apple sauce does not require 14-15 hours of constant stirring over a hot open fire to cook down and concentrate the apple flavor. Apple sauce does not have 90-100 lbs of sugar in it (yep, 90-100). Or one ounce of pure oil of cinnamon. Some add other spices, we do not.
Try putting apple sauce on a hot buttered biscuit. Can't do that where I'm from, against the law, you'll get arrested for ruining a good biscuit.
